Chapter 16 Troops out of the Yellow River
Inside the post house, Zhang sighed loudly, and looked at the moon with a wistful look, thinking that this time he came out to fight for Sun Ce's Da Situ was twice the result with half the effort, but he didn't want Cao's attitude to be so tough, even in the face of Yuan Shao's army that was about to be suppressed, he was not willing to take a step back.
Just go back like this, what is the result, Zhang knows in his heart that with Sun Ce's violent temperament, he will inevitably send troops to attack the Central Plains. There are many wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Tu people are prosperous, and there are mountains and rivers that are troubled, if the Wu soldiers go deep into the Middle Earth, they will become a big tail, and there is still a feud Liu Biao on the side. Then there will be calamity in Wuzhong.
"Sir" Zhang Zheng pondered for a while, and suddenly heard a call, but it was a personal boy at the door and said: "Sir, the champion Hou came to visit Mr. Zhang Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said to the boy: "Please come in with Cao Junhou." ”
When they were young, the two stepped in, with Cao Ang in front and Jia Xu in the back.
Seeing Zhang's inquiring gaze, Jia Xu bowed and sat down next to him: "Jia Xu is an observer, he will never interject, Zhang Gong doesn't have to mind."
After speaking, he was accustomed to squinting his eyes, unable to distinguish whether he was asleep or awake.
"Hahaha, Gong Zhang, I said goodbye to Deyang during the day, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, right?" Looking at Cao Ang, who was smiling calmly, Zhang Yi said indifferently: "The words of the prince are very different from those in the Deyang Palace during the day?" ”
Cao Ang smiled when he heard this: "The day is a court discussion, you and I are our own masters, and there are some things that have to be said!" Now that you and I are a personal relationship, how can it be compared to the events of the day? ”
Zhang chuckled and said: "The champion Hou has a degree of words and deeds, a clear distinction between public and private, and a combination of grace and power, and Zhang has been taught." ”
Cao Ang waved his hand and said, "Sir, if you want to say so, Cao is still far behind Wu Chenghou!" I heard that Sun Bofu was on the battlefield, and the collapse of Mount Tai did not change color, the military was as powerful as the sea, and the courage was like a prison. Cao will pay a visit on a different day! ”
Zhang knew that Cao Ang was not here to praise Sun Ce. Said: "What do you have to say?" Why don't you make it explicit? ”
Cao Ang laughed and said, ": Emperor Huan." Since the Spirit Emperor. The world is in chaos. Yellow turbans are rampant, and Hou is in chaos. My father raised an army to help the people of the Central Plains. Sun Bofu was in charge of the people of the south of the Yangtze River. They are all heroes of the world! Besides, my father used to have a friendship with General Sun Lao to raise troops to rebel. The Cao family and the Sun family were originally allies. My father understands the hardships of people's livelihoods. I can't bear to let the people suffer from the sword soldiers anymore. I am willing to make an agreement with the Sun family. Do not attack each other. It's good to form an alliance forever. ”
Zhang was stunned, and his attitude was tough during the day, and the Cao clan would actually come to form an alliance. Let's be honest, though. From the point of view of a good politician. The alliance with the Cao clan is in the current situation in Wuzhong.
Zhang pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "Junhou." Your words of alliance. Zhang Zhen didn't know whether to get it or not. ”
Cao Ang smiled and said, "Would you like to hear about it?" ”
Zhang said softly: "I also know the benefits of Jiangdong's alliance with the Cao clan. At this time, if you form an alliance with the Cao family, there should be a hundred benefits and no harm. It's just that the title of Da Situ is not low. Even if you go back and say that the sky is broken. and my lord will not agree. ”
Cao Ang smiled when he heard this: "The position of Great Situ really doesn't know that the position of Marquis Wu may satisfy Sun Ce?" ”
Zhang Wenyan pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Okay, just go back and try." ”
Cao Ang smiled, then took out a roll of cloth from his arms, and said lightly: "There is a sentence that Cao and my father each gave to Sun Bofu to ask Zhang Gong to transfer it to Sun Ce. ”
Zhang frowned, looked at the silk, and suddenly stared at it no further, only to see that the two sentences in the book were written by Cao Cao: The lion is difficult to compete with. The second sentence was written by Cao Ang: Your Excellency is not dead, and I am disturbed.
Zhang looked at the two sentences for a long time, one positive and one negative, not only praised Sun Ce, but also did not show hypocrisy, just right, which was just right for Sun Ce's competitive character.
Zhang sighed and said, "With this book, Zhang can go back and explain to Wuchenghou." ”
Looking at Zhang, who was a little tired, Cao Ang suddenly felt a little sorry for him, a good political talent, but for Sun Ce's request, he ran all the way to Xudu, not only can not fold the prestige of his master, but also needs to do things well, just from the dense sorrow on Zhang's face, Cao Ang can see how arrogant and joyful Sun Ce is.
But then again, he was tired enough, Cao Cao was not willing to be threatened by Sun Ce to appoint him as the Great Situ, but he was also afraid of offending him, provoking Sun Ce to form an alliance with Yuan Shao. As a result, Cao Cao himself did not come forward, but handed over these things to him and Jia Xu to arrange, to put it simply, Sun Ce and Cao Cao's open and secret calculations, and it was himself who was the son and Zhang, the courtier, who suffered.
Looking at the tired Zhang, Cao Anghu's heart had a thought, although Sun Ce is more than brave, but he is competitive and arrogant, rationally speaking, compared to the insidious and cunning in history, the two-faced Emperor Sun Quan is much easier to deal with! Moreover, with his human personality and iron-blooded means, he will definitely not be as proper as Sun Quan to deal with the wealthy Tu clan in Jiangdong.
After some careful consideration, Cao Ang suddenly realized, not bad! Sun Quan acts like Liu Bang, Sun Ce is like Xiang Yu, as long as Jiangnan is in the hands of Sun Ce, he will definitely not hold Cao Wei for a long time like in history, Sun Ce is violent and violent, and sooner or later he will send troops to fight with Cao Wei! If so, Soochow Shu can be collected!! It is not difficult to dominate the world! But the premise is that Sun Ce is not dead!
After making up his mind, Cao Ang suddenly smiled at Zhang and said, "Gong Zhang, I have a word, I am very annoying for you to go back and tell Sun Ce." Zhang Wenyan was puzzled: "Champion Hou You."
Be sure to tell me. ”
Cao Ang sighed softly: "Yesterday, I heard Taishi Du's words that the stars rose in the east, and the purple glow shone in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Zhang Wenyan was slightly unhappy in his heart, but seeing that Cao Ang's face was upright and did not seem to be a fake, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.
Cao Ang chuckled: "I heard that Sun Bofu likes to hunt, and Gong should remind Bo Fu Gong that you should be careful of assassins when you go out." ”
Although Zhang Wenyan was puzzled, he also said in a deep voice: "Thank you for telling me, I will go back and remind Wu Chenghou." ”
Cao Ang shook his head and smiled: "How can Sun Bofu care about this celestial theory? Zhang Gong still told Zhou Yu about this, and it was quite appropriate for him to arrange it. ”
When Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, he thought that this Cao Ang was just cursing Sun Ce, but he didn't want to even involve Zhou Yu. Could it be that Supervisor Xu Du Taishi Du really calculated something?
The ancients had many theories about ghosts and gods, even if it was a scholar like Zhang, although he did not believe it all, he subconsciously cared about it, and then secretly kept this matter in his heart, and said: "What the champion Hou said should be relayed." ”
After another idle talk, Cao Ang and Jia Xu immediately said goodbye and left. When Fang came out of the post house, Jia Xu asked: "I don't know what the general Shicai said about the heavenly appearance, I don't know what it means?" ”
Cao Ang smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just want Sun Ce to live a little longer, whether it is successful or not depends on the destiny of heaven." ”
Jia Xu frowned when he heard this, he was conceited and experienced, and he had the wisdom of ghosts and gods, but this time he didn't figure out what Cao Ang's calculations were.
"General, Sun Ce is an enemy, why should he live longer?" After a moment of silence, Jia Xu asked out loud.
Cao Ang slowly looked at the moon in the sky, and said softly: "Sun Ce is light and unprepared, anxious and arrogant, and has no eyes to spare. Although there are millions of people who are different from walking the world alone, Soochow let this person be the master, so that our army will have a chance in the future. ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, in addition to Sun Ce, could there be a second person in Dongwu to call the shots? Cao Ang said that, he didn't answer anymore, just raised his feet and left. left Jia Xu, who was still thinking about it in the same place.
As soon as Zhang Fang left Xudu, Cao Cao immediately began to prepare for the war with all his might, and the most important thing at present was to pull out the two vanguard military horses of Hebei, Yan Liang and Wen Chou!
On the Autumn Cool Festival, Cao Cao personally led the army out of Xudu, went straight to the south bank of the Yellow River and went to fight, and most of the famous generals of Cao's army were dispatched, and the general's mansion was also among them. Cao Ang and his others were ordered to be the rear army, and at the end of this month, they escorted grain and grass to the front.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion on the first two days before departure, I saw Cao Ang standing at the top and facing Sima Yi, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Dian Man, Xu Yi, and Shi Jian who were standing below: "Everyone, this battle will be the first battle before the battle between us and Yuan Shao, and the opponents are the famous Hebei generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, no matter what, this battle must be won!" ”
"No!" Everyone in the hall bowed their heads, Cao Ang looked around at everyone, and continued: "Today's Yuan Shao has a million armor and more than a thousand generals. When it can be called the leader of the princes, the momentum can be described as monstrous! But I believe that in the battle with Yuan Shao, my Cao army will win! Because there are no more soldiers, in the fine! Will not be brave, but plot! In the battle of Cao Yuan, our army will win Yuan Shao! What I want now is your faith! ”
But when the seven people in the hall heard all the words, they all paid homage, and said loudly: "We are willing to carry the whip and fall for the general, and live up to the general's kindness!" ”
Cao Ang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then said softly: "The battle with Yuan Shao, once it starts, it will be difficult for Hebei to be pacified in five years. This protracted battle will be our hardest and most difficult battle! If we lose, we will never recover, and we will all be attached to the long river of history, win! Eight people in this room today will be famous all over the world! The heroes of the world will tremble at the hearing of our names! ”
After listening to Cao Ang's words, everyone's hearts were full of enthusiasm, but they suddenly heard Cao Ang turn his mouth and say: "We will take the grain out of the city in two days, this time the soldiers and horses come out, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to Xudu for a long time, if you have anything to say to your family, just take advantage of tonight, after tonight, you will no longer belong to relatives and friends, only the world!" ”
After finishing speaking, seeing that everyone was slowly withdrawing, Cao Ang looked at Zhao Yun, who seemed to be a little hesitant, and smiled: "Senior brother, the master lives in the side hall of Kejixuan, you can go straight." Hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded gratefully to Cao Ang, and then turned away.
At this time in the hall, there were only two people left, one was Cao Ang and the other was Sima Yi. Looking at Sima Yi, who looked indifferent and seemed to have nothing to do with him, Cao Ang said softly: "Zhongda, go and meet your father and brother." ”
Sima Yi trembled slightly when he heard this, and then said softly: "What about the general?" ”
Cao Ang was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "I have already visited my mother during the day, and after a while, I will go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to see my two ladies." ”
Sima Yi bowed when he heard this, and said, "That is the case, Yi has retired."
With that, he slowly walked towards the door.
"Zhongda!" Hearing this, Sima Yi hurriedly turned around and said, "What else is the matter with the general?" ”
Cao Ang looked up at the roof faintly, and said softly: "In five years, what will become of the General's Mansion, have you thought about it?" ”
Sima Yi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "In Yi's heart, five years later, the general's mansion should be able to dominate the world and shock Kyushu. ”8
